This is already out of control in the microphone world, as it is. And
lots of people just think tube preamps just sound gritty and distorted,
since they've never heard the real thing.

I think it's too late to fight this battle, but I wish you the best of
luck for trying.

I don't think they are really attempting to recreate anything other than
the look and the nameplate, because sadly that's what sells product. To
actually make the electronics identical would cost a lot more money than
they're willing to pay.
